    I have spent 15 years following crypto. I promise you that I know how it works. The fact is the fanboys are the ones who are mistaken as so much of that scene is built by people who either know fuckall about currency policy or are scammers.

      Just to hold you accountable, kindly give me a brief explanation of how bitcoin works. If you know how it works, you should be able to explain it, and if you use Google to explain it for you, you’ll defeat your own argument. So please, try if you don’t mind?

          I’ve created 16 blockchains and I’m one of Bitcoin’s core developers. Just trust me.

          That’s what you’re doing

              Remember these conversations down the road.

              And stop saying crypto. We are talking about Bitcoin.

                  Just because you say it doesn’t make it true, and if it were true you’d expect me to be invested in other “cryptos” surely.

                  Do you think I’m invested in any non-Bitcoin crypto? Why would I draw such an arbitrary line between one and the literal rest of them?

                  Maybe, just maybe there is a difference.

                    And the same is true for yourself.

                    FFS buddy you think you have the right “to hold you to account”. Dial it back bro.

                    My arguments apply to all crypto.

        Lol sorry buddy but that’s true. Followed crypto for 15 years and the space is filled with guys who never took an economics course

          To be fair, you’re not wrong about your point. But in this case it’s a matter of being correct despite themselves.

          And again, crypto is not equal to Bitcoin. Bitcoin is crypto, but only Bitcoin is Bitcoin. Maybe I’ll be wrong, guess we will see
